The Mid Staffs Koi Keeping Society held its annual closed koi show last weekend, where members of the society exhibited their koi and competed for prizes. Even the crazy downpours on Sunday couldn't dampen the spirits of these lovely, friendly koi keepers. Many thanks to the Mid Staffs for all their effort and the judges for giving up their free time, plus a huge congratulations to everyone who exhibited!

*This trophy is awarded by Bill Oakley in loving memory of Jimmy Morris, a show veteran who managed the water and health of koi at shows all over the UK. This year, Bill felt it was apt to award the trophy to every member of the water team who worked tirelessly to ensure the exhibitor's koi were well cared for, just as Jimmy would have.
